Re: Overly Harsh Present Feedback?

@simsplayer818  Oh, man, I hate it when your wild animal friends die! ☹️  So sorry to hear about that!

Oh, and another present feedback thing, um, sometimes I tell my Sim to give a thing to another Sim because *I* want them to have it, and I always feel bad for the gift-giver if they get a footstomp and negative friendship stuff and a sad moodlet from it. ☹️  No, The Watcher told Jennie to give you that Mermadic Kelp she found/that cowplant berry/whatever, be nice to her!

@xochiquetzl_xkvn , yes that does seem like an exaggerated reaction to a present!  I could see if it was meant to be a gag gift or a "gift" to an enemy, but even when you don't like a gift in real life, you don't behave like a brat about it! 😬😔

@simsplayer818 , I'm so sorry about BunBun and the trashed relationship (and subsequent death of BunBun!) 😭  When I lived in another town there used to be a rabbit that would come by and I fed it parsley (since I read that it is good for them) and the rabbit loved it!  I "named" it BunBun as well!  So when CotL came out last year, I named one of the wild rabbits BunBun after the one I used to feed.  But I haven't played that save file in a while, so our in-game relationship has never soured, thankfully! 

I did have a thought over the weekend, that maybe this was implemented for Nifty Knitting as part of the "Successfully gift a knittable" thing? Hmm.

Okay, with all due respect... WHAT IS THIS?

A bride gave her new wife a rose as a Hannukah present less than 24 hours after the wedding.

"Caused her pain." She GAVE YOU A ROSE.

Of all the idiotic, petty, childish.........

@xochiquetzl_xkvn , good possibility with the Nifty Knitting pack and gifting! 💡

As for the newlyweds, the person receiving the rose as a gift must have encountered a thorn! 🌹🩸😥  Or else they have really bad allergies! 😉

As near as I can tell, they only like gifts worth more than $200 simoleons. :P

Maybe I should edit all my holidays. I really hate to do that, but.... it's infuriating. I did go looking at my favorite modders' sites for "Less Toddler-like Tantrums from Presents" and didn't see anything like that...

As for this couple, I felt like my options were to wait for the Team to release My Divorce Stories 😉 or to whip out UI Cheats. I chose cheating. 😉

Edit: Seriously, guys, "Hurt" because someone gave you a rose is an overreaction akin to the scene in Addams Family Values where Debbie talks about how her parents gave her Malibu Barbie instead of Ballerina Barbie.  😉

I agree that sims' negative reactions to gifts are really over the top. As far as I can tell, there's not even anything that will guarantee a sim will like your gift (e.g. something related to their likes; something they have a whim to buy; something handmade or from their spouse or child). I have thought about editing all of my holidays for the same reason.

@xochiquetzl_xkvn , I do remember in a very old version of the Sims (Sims 1 or Sims 2), in a console version, I had this one child that hated everything her parents gave her as a gift.  The child would break the gift and yell and stomp her feet.  Unfortunately there was no option to scold, or "talk about bad behavior" , or send her to her room, etc.  I was so happy that with TS4 in the Parenting GP there are options to teach your child not to behave in such a way! 😅  
So, your problem with giving gifts in the game, reminds me of that version of the game, except it is adults who are acting like spoiled children ! 🤦‍♀️😓

I haven't seen The Addams Family Values in years, so I only vaguely remember that... on the other hand, Ballerina Barbie was the only Barbie I liked since all the Barbies of my time period had idiotic expressions on their faces😒, and Ballerina Barbie looked serious and like she had a brain!💗  (and the crown didn't hurt either! 😅)  What do I need a Barbie with tan lines for? 😂  My friend had Malibu Barbie and I hated it! 😅  That said, if my parents or anyone had given me a Malibu Barbie instead of a Ballerina Barbie, I would still play with it and know that it was better than no doll at all! 😊

@PugLove888 

Apparently, that was the cause of her first murder. She asked for Ballerina Barbie and got Malibu Barbie instead, so she burned the house down!  LOL!
